โ๐ถ how do you separate your politics from the grounded reality of our lives, as we & our loved ones are being coerced into repeated acute illness, chronic illness, & even death for the wealth & power of your political champions & their peers these people are feeding on us; wtf are you doing? ๐ค๐ผ๐
โ๐ถ ... the overwhelming alienation of waking up every day to people professing care & advocating for human rights beyond politics as usual, who remain silent & unmoved by the grounded reality of our continued harm & suffering in this ongoing pandemic consuming us who & what are you really serving?
Don't kneel before Trump and beg beg beg your party to do something. They are doing what they will do. The ones who will act are trying - will you help them or sit there like a useless lump. The leftists are struggling to rise, will you help us or leave us to the fascists. YOU will choose!

Ana has been an amazing source for daily updates on this payment disaster, if you got it send some dollars
The media gave us no breathing space between being "lazy" young people whose struggle under capitalism is obviously our fault /s... and being middle aged.
this is true. iโm crying.
Do not be careless or reckless during the ongoing pandemic of Covid-19, because your essential well-being is at stake. If you fail to wear a respirator mask in all situations of potential contagion, it is inevitable that you will suffer repeated infections, resulting in irreparable harm. #COVID19
Iโve been trying to stay on top of the online censorship issue ever since leaving VICE, even if it means less writing on unrelated issues at other outlets. The story is too important to give up time, focus, energy Every dollar counts to keep my reporting funded and supported ๐ฅบ ko-fi.com/acvalens

100% true. Gen AI exists to eliminate paying people for labour. Every person who chooses to use it is a scab. They're taking our livelihoods from us no matter who shitty and incompetent Gen AI is. That's why stopgenai.com exists. Help us! @davidgerard.co.uk youtu.be/k7M8fI7JvXs?...

She was a huge disappointment. Fuuuuck her. Seth Green cried because he couldn't use his Monkey NFT in his Monkey NFT show. That's why he spent $100k on the Monkey NFT.
It was probably a few years ago on Redacted Tonight. When saying "crypto helps poor people!" was less likely to get you laughed at.
Whew. She overcame the bar on the floor.

When Capitalists turn anti-capitalisim into a successful product that they provide, they not only control the narrative but use the hatred of them to just make more consumers dependant on them.
I don't think there's a better example of how successfully Capitalists have learned to commodify anti-capitalism both to make a profit and undermine it.

Stop Gen AI didn't go ahead with our fundraising bundle. We can't afford to have a fundraiser where we and the creators participating don't get the money they're rightfully entitled to. And Itch.io support ignores almost all emails. Email them more? They ignore u even harder. Only point of contact.
Even the biggest fish in the Itch pond have been harmed. Itch sitting on $50 for months from one creator, and $500,000 from another creator, for several months with no end in sight... That's theft. www.thegamer.com/indie-game-v...
I told @nathangrayson.bsky.social about this yesterday. Tagging him so he can see some of this discourse.
im gonna be real im seeing many more cases of itch withholding or not processing payments for weeks upon weeks and outside my general criticism of the way it's handled things, it makes me very suspicious of the whole company. no company which is responsible lets those things slip that far.
"oh, well, its only a company of a few people, they've overwhelmed" then they should hire more people "well they cant afford to because they let people set itch's share to zero" then they should explain that and discontinue that policy. most creators would understand. there is no excuse.
Adolph Hitler was inspired by how the US was founded by genociding Indigenous people and enslaving Black people.
her: โomg i canโt believe we live in a world where they would do this to the Palestinians.โ me: maโam youโre a white settler, what do you think happened on this side of the planet?
This was the *point* of these things being taken up by corporations. If you're just hiring people to "fix" something, you can pay them less than if you're asking them to create it -- even though it requires them to do more work. In particular this was the reason for the WGA strikes around this.

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

Dear reader, "an effort to have fewer poor people" in this context means actively preventing the poor, tired, huddled masses, from entering the very country that created the impoverished conditions the poor are fleeing from.
it would be a good time to do laps through their checkpoints if you are in the categories that can do that safely

Ooooh.
The Democrat Party wants to talk only about Epstein to distract you from their genocide and their complicity with fascism.
Really interesting how many reports Iโve seen about โGraham Linehan arrested over tweetโ and how few of them have actually shown the tweets. I reckon a lot of sympathy for him would dry up if people saw it was a legitimate arrest.
and like, who fucked your skull up so bad that you think human rights are something you have to queue up for? you think they're a finite resource? we have to go to the mines to dig up more rights? you fucking idiots.
your children and grand children and their children too are going to suffer and when they ask you why and how it happened you're going to have to either lie to them, or explain that you burned their future to the ground because you didn't like trans people and you worshiped the rich.
Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

The practical reality of them is that if you use the bathroom in public AT ALL you are now at risk of violence whether you are a trans woman, trans man, nonbinary or just look like you are.
Wrong bathroom for your gender presentation? You are at extremely high risk of assault EVEN THOUGH the law says that's what you should be doing. Right bathroom for your gender presentation? You are at risk of being arrested and assaulted by the cops then thrown in a prison where worse happens.
And democracy cannot survive sections of the population being driven out of public. You can't sacrifice us and keep your hands clean, no matter how shiny and comfortable the bathrooms you scrub them in are for you.
All you folks gotta do is realize western capitalist countries aren't actually democracies and political parties are kayfabe But if you quit participating in the scam ("voting") and organize with the masses, we can overthrow the billionaires and capitalism, and save our lives.
I think if Kamala was president the liberals could ignore genocide, and continue brunching. Things would be different if she was president. Not better.
I stand by this. Things wouldn't be better. The oppression would be different. Better for who?

Cryptocurrency has been harmful enough with facilitating cyber crime and financial fraud, and the environmental and economic destruction caused by cryptomining. Along comes Gen AI, which makes cryptocurrency harms look like small potatoes. Environmental destruction! Deskilling people! ๐งต

A little known fact is that among Israelis, the idea of a war with Iran was so widely popular that Netanyahu even gained backing from people who are otherwise obsessed with deposing him. So, let it be known that while much of the world is trying to prevent war, Israel is demanding a very big one.
